Scope and Contents

A short biographical sketch by Pauline Udall Smith which tells of Ida Hunt's early years and the meeting of David K. Udall. She shared a home with her husband and his first wife. Writes of the polygamy hunts in Arizona and her stay with David's parents when she expected her first child. David Udall and Brothers Tenney, Tempe, Christopherson, and Flake spent several weeks in court in Prescott during the polygamy trials. David was sentenced to prison in Detroit. During the two years she was separated from David, Ida gave guitar lessons, sang for groups, sewed, and did some copying of county records--any type of work to support herself and child. This is an account of the hardships endured in the Arizona settlements compounded by the problem of polygamy. 15 pages.
